Knowledge Management Capabilities As Predictor Of Project Performance In Malaysian Construction Companies

To understand the success and failure of knowledge management (KM), KM capabilities must be identified and assessed. Literature has offered theoretical grounding with regard to organizational capabilities as predictor of KM performance. In order to make KM more effective this study attempts to integ...

In order to make KM more effective this study attempts to integrate the fragmented KM perspectives into the holistic framework including, knowledge infrastructure capability (technology, structure, and culture) and knowledge process capability (acquisition, conversion, application, and protection), based on Gold's (2001) study and project performance from the standpoint of time, cost, quality and safety in addition to project benefits.
